( I) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. PREPARATIONS BEFORE STARTING

THE ENGINE Gasoline with 86 OCTANE (A.K.I.) or over is recom- mended for easy starting and long life. (1) Fuel 1) Check that there is sufficient fuel for the day’s operation. Carry additional fuel for use in an emergency and check it before running. Running out of fuel can cause both inconvenience and serious injury. 2) The fuel should be prepared using genuine TO-

HATSU engine oil. (Fig. 11 The normal mixture is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil 150:~). For initial break in of a new engine the mixture should be 20: 1 for the first ten hours operation. 3) If you are using commercial two stroke (2T) oil use the ratio 2O:l for normal running and 15:l for the initial 10 hours running. 4) Do not use poor grade, dirty or stale gasoline or oil. This will cause poor starting, reduced power and may damage your motor. Use good quality fuel and lubricants at all times.
